There are a number of softwares that can be used to simulate multi-agent systems such as JADE. Also there are specific softwares for wireless networks, But is there any software that can do both tasks?
Hi,
what would you expect from such a system in terms of specific features for wireless network simulation? I am in the MARS research group (http://www.mars-group.org) and we develop a Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) system with a general purpose approach. So we're not focussed on wireless networks, but it would nevertheless possible to create such models with our system, I guess.
Also at my university there is the iNET group, which focusses on "research and development on technologies and applications for a Next Generation Internet, with a particular focus on mobility, multimedia and knowledge-based systems". They have one project in der portfolio, which might address your interests: http://inet.haw-hamburg.de/projects/scalecast . Specifically the CAF Framework (a C++ actor model implementation) results from that project: http://actor-framework.org
Can you provide more detail regarding your modeling requirements?
Cheers
Christian
Dear Christian thank you for your answer. The work of your group is very interesting. For example we need to understand the dynamic of future smartgrids and microgrids. As MAS is one of the control and energy management technique the signals could be changed over wireless network or Internet to be a kind of networked control system. I am trying to integrate both multiagent and wireless network into the same simulation framework to study the impact of the wireless network on the system dynamics.
Best Regards

Hi Ashraf,
so agents in your model would be smart meters among other smart grid related nodes and controllers, but you would also want to simulate the sending and retreival of control messages via wireless networks and/or the internet. So you would end up with 2 different kinds of layers and agents in your model, representing the smart grid over internet / Wifi.
Is that correct?
